Punjab 131-4 (17 ovs) vs Pune 152-4 | SCORECARD


Dhoni takes a gamble as he brings back Perera, who was hit for 15 runs in his first over.

However, he manages to keep it tight in his second over, conceding just six runs, including two misfields from the last two balls, with Maxwell and Miller converting both singles into twos. They need 35 from four overs for victory.

Murugan Ashwin continues to chip away at the wickets. This time Miller goes for a big shot down the ground but fails to time it well and is caught by Pietersen at long-off.

Captain Miller walks back for seven as Punjab stumble to 119 for four, with 34 needed from 22 balls for victory.

Punjab have lost four wickets for 22 runs in the last 25 five balls as Pune managed to stage a great comeback.

But not all hope is lost if you have Glenn Maxwell out in the middle. He slog sweeps Ashwin over midwicket for a six and smashes the last ball over the covers for a four.

Despite the last two hits, Murugan Ashwin finishes with good figures of three for 36 in four overs.

Punjab still have a slight edge, with 22 needed from three overs for victory.
